    Just a few stumbling blocks.

    First of all I love my Pals. He is a wonderful caring person. Sometimes things just get messed up. We are pretty much able to keep things on an even keel. As ALS progresses new deficiencies occur. I shower, dress and tend to all hygiene for my Pals. Shaving is a *****. We have tried an...

    Dps

    I had a DPS put about a month ago. It's working well for me. But I have one stupid problem and that is keeping the plug dry at shower time. Does anyone have any simple solutions to this.
